Chances Unknown.

How We Get These Numbers

We use more than 200 data points about you and your target college. Our unique algorithm takes many factors into account, including your grades and test scores,
the academic rigor of your high school curriculum, your extracurricular activities, personal details, and just about everything else in your profile. We also
consider numerous factors about the college, including the grades and scores of students who have been admitted in the past, the school's selectivity, the gender
and ethnic makeup of the school, and others. We use data from multiple government and private sources, plus information provided by the schools themselves.

For best results, make sure you fill out your Cappex profile accurately and completely. A very wide orange bar means that we don't have enough information
to give you an accurate rating. (Make sure your entire profile is filled out, especially your test scores and GPA.) A very narrow orange bar means that the
calculator has enough information, and our estimate of your chances of getting in is reliable for the vast majority of cases. Of course there are always
exceptions - the odds are never 100%, and we don't guarantee you will get into any college. Your individual circumstances and qualifications may also qualify you
for admission in situations where someone of comparable standing will be rejected.

Use the Calculator like you would any other source — as a tool to help you plan and prioritize your college search. College is an important decision, so use the
Calculator to provide one piece of the puzzle. Always get advice from high school counselors, admissions representatives, parents and others in your college search
- people who know you better than any computer can.

You may still not get in!

Even though your chances look good you may still get rejected from this college. Please keep the following in mind:

The program for which you're applying may require a tryout, audition or portfolio review during the admissions decision. If your tryout, audition or portfolio doesn't impress them you might get rejected.

Your intended area of study may be extremely competitive for this college. Even top students get rejected from colleges when lots of students are applying to a specific major.

Some highly selective colleges take a very holistic approach to admissions and you may not be the type of student they want to attract even if your grades and test scores are top notch.

Some schools impose additional minimum entrance requirements, which are not considered by the calculator. For example: In addition to composite test scores, some schools impose mandatory minimums on sub scores as well. Although the calculator does consider sub scores in its analysis, it does not consider any mandatory minimums that might exist. Check the college's website for more details.

Economic factors during the 2008/2009 admissions season may have an impact. Many state-funded and other more-affordable schools are reporting a sharp increase in the number of applicants,
which may result in rejections for some students who would have been easily admitted in past years. The calculator does not consider these economic factors.

Bottom line, no calculator can tell you definitively whether you'll get in - you'll only know if you actually apply. Always talk to others such as high school counselors, parents and admissions representatives before deciding
whether to apply to a certain college.

You may still get in!

Even if your chances look slim, don't give up hope! There are a number of factors that can work in your favor:

The program for which you're applying may require a tryout, audition or portfolio review during the admissions decision. Good performance here can really make the difference.

You may be a member of an underrepresented group that the college is trying to attract that may have a different academic standard for admission. Many colleges go out of their way to increase diversity; if you add to the
diversity on their campus they may reach out to you. For example, this college may be looking for students who can increase ethnic, geographic or academic diversity.

If you've done something truly remarkable that makes you stand out above the rest. Schools look beyond academics every day for students who stand out from their peers.

If this college is "test optional" they may not take your test scores into consideration. The What Are My Chances?® Calculator does take your test scores into consideration. So, if your test scores are bad, it may
have given you a lower chance.

If one or both of your parents went to that school. Colleges sometimes give preference to so-called "legacy" students.

Bottom line, no calculator can tell you definitively whether you'll get in - you'll only know if you actually apply. Always talk to others such as high school counselors, parents and admissions representatives before deciding
whether to apply to a certain college.

Search hard for financial aid. This goes for any college. There are a lot of scholarships out there just for college freshmen, and if you don't get them now you never will. If you don't know what major you want, there's a great general studies department to help you out. You'll get your requirements out the way sooner if you stay with them until you're sure what you want to do. If you jump into a major, you might end up taking classes that will be useless to you later. Most people end up switching eventually, so you're better off with the general studies people. Look into housing off-campus. It's a good way to save money. I moved into an apartment downtown at the end of my freshman year, and it's saving me about $4,000. I ride my bike home for lunch and save tons of money that way, too. Also, bring a bike. It's cheaper than driving and MUCH cheaper than parking. UNL parking permits go into the high hundreds. On the other hand, it's nice to have reliable parking downtown for other things like concerts, movies, shopping, etc.
